Re: HUB Separating from Axle
hi guy's
i am new on this forum, and own a 2002 t/30 , all the problem i read in this forum apply to my car, also the broken axel. My question to you is ; do i understand it correctly that it is an bearing that causes the problem in the first place?
and my second question ; where cann i order the crown, because the dealers in Europe use other numbers for the parts, the part is Nissan"s ?
I am putting on new covers on my front axes , is it wise to use locktight on the hub-nut or not.
The last time i used it on the nut we tightened it with a large pipe to realy put it tight, this resulted in a broken axel.
i wil put in a new bearing on the right wheel now that i read all this.
The main cause of my problem wil probably the parking of my work, i have to park my car 15 story's high, all left-hand turns, so all the weight of the car is put on the right front wheel every corner.
A lot of my friends at work have problems with steering/suspencion/bearings
hope to get a reply from you, sorry for my english, greetz Mars from the Netherlands

Re: HUB Separating from Axle
Hello Mars,
The part number is a Nissan part number and your dealer should be able to get them for you.
Yes, the problem of the wheel separating from the hub is a bearing problem, not a hub nut problem. Always buy good brand bearings.
It seems that your right bearing gets a lot of load on it constantly and if many of your other work mates also have the same problem in other vehicles then it seems to be related to your carpark entry/exit. I can only suggest you drive slower around it to lessen the loading on the bearing or check it more frequently.
You may also need to replace the hub incase the failed bearing has damaged it causing the fit not to be correct which could cause early failure.
In regards to how you tighten your hub nut, it seems you could be causing the problem yourself by over-tightening the hub nut when you install it. Please refer to a service manual and tighten it to the correct torque which will ensure it is not too tight nor too loose.
